The SpikenzieLabs Micro USB FTDI Buddy is our new USB to serial UART that uses FTDI's new FT230X chips. The FT230X is a small pin count package which makes the Micro USB FTDI Buddy both extremely small and affordable!
Use the Micro USB FTDI Buddy anywhere you can use a FTDI cable. For example.: Upload Arduino sketches to Arduino compatible boards that do not have on board USB. Such as; The Sippino 328, Prototino Minuino and many others!
The Micro USB FTDI Buddy data pins breakout into the standard FTDI cable style pinout. For maximum flexibility the included pin headers (90 degree male and female) do not come soldered on. This way you can choose which works better for you or even hardwire the Micro USB FTDI Buddy to your project.
